CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, April 1, 1933

* Nazis boycott Jewish businesses
* Beginning of the Holocaust - Jews


The front page has a five column headline: "Hitler Cuts Jew Boycott to One Day" with subheads. (see) Lengthy text. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 34 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. In great condition as such, a few small binding holes at the spine.

AI notes: On March 31, 1933, the Nazi regime in Germany announced a nationwide boycott of Jewish businesses, set to begin the next day, April 1, 1933. This was one of the first major acts of anti-Jewish persecution after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor in January 1933. The boycott, organized by Joseph Goebbels, aimed to intimidate and economically isolate Jews by urging Germans not to shop at Jewish-owned stores, use Jewish doctors or lawyers, or do business with Jews in general. Nazi Stormtroopers (SA) were stationed outside Jewish establishments, often marking them with antisemitic slogans or the Star of David. Although the boycott lasted only one day officially, it marked the start of a broader and escalating campaign of discrimination, exclusion, and violence against Jews in Nazi Germany.
